The Catholic Multimedia Center says that 33-year-old Juan Miguel Contreras Garcia was shot dead late on Friday April 20 in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, on the outskirts of Guadalajara, Jalisco.
It was announced on Saturday April 21, that early reports indicate he was killed by unidentified attackers in the parish office while performing the sacrament of penance.
According to the center, at least four priests have been slain in Mexico this year and 23 have been murdered since 2012.
